Devil (2010 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Devil from a friend who refused to take the elevator one day. I hadn’t heard of it and was amused that a single film could scare a person into not wanting to ride an elevator, but instead take the stairs. As a person who …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is one of the most wonderful attacks on the kung fu genre. Dreamworks did an excellent job in combining animation, kung fu and of course comedy.The whole movie made my jaw somewhat hurt from all that laughing not to mention the oohs and aahs during the …
The Hitcher movie
The Hitcher is about a young man who travels through the american desert and has the bad luck of picking up a psychopathic hitcher. It’s just not any psychopath, but probably the most frightening and calculating ever, brilliantly played by Rutger Hauer. Actually, Hauer’s performance is what is most …
Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …

The Departed: Movie
The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The plot was something I hadn’t seen executed so well in a long time. …
“Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox” movie
I have been enjoying the DC Animated movies. Granted, there are still a few that I need to see, but I’ve enjoyed a vast majority of them quite a bit. I hadn’t read the comic story that this entry was based on, and while I wouldn’t say …
Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …
Tequila Sunrise movie
From 1988, Tequila Sunrise simply bored me from scene to scene. I could never get into it. In fact, I turned off the DVD on one day and went back to it on another, starting from the beginning. It was just too uninteresting.
Now it’s possible that …
Demolition Man
This is one of my favorite Sylvester Stallone movies. I loved the action scenes in this movie and the constant antagonism between him and Wesley Snipes. This movie was definitely not boring in any way and had so many great fight scenes. Wesley Snipes played the perfect nemesis …

Green Dragon movie
Green Dragon (2004) is an independent film based on a true story about Vietnamese refugees as they arrive at Camp Pendleton at the end of the Vietnam conflict. It’s a story that hasn’t been told before, and it’s very well done.

Movie: “Grandma’s Boy” (2006)
Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.

Open Season

Suicide Squad (2016 Superhero Movie)
I can’t really explain how excited I was to see the movie Suicide Squad after I viewed the trailer. Both listening to the soundtrack and seeing the visual effects alone brought me to a level of anticipation that I only had with viewing upcoming Marvel movies. Thus I sacrificed the …

The Gravedancers
The title of this movie, The Gravedancers is very scary already. I screamed like a mad woman on some really scary scenes. I would warn viewers out there to bring all your sweater jackets, shawl, some warm drinks and good peanuts as the more this movie gets …

Sleepwalkers movie
This movie was apparently based on a novel that Stephen King wrote but never got published. Seeing this movie, I can see why King decided not to publish the book because this movie is bad, very bad.
The “sleepwalkers” are cat-like vampire creatures that suck the life force out …

Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …
Movie Cloverfield
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Cloverfield. It stars a lot of no names. So it starts with this dude asked to tape this going away party for this guy. He is to document what people say. So, he has the camera rolling all the time. Everybody seems …

Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Fight Club: Movie
Fight Club is a brilliant movie; I found its portrayal of a psychologically disturbed human being very interesting.
The storyline in itself is quite good, but you’re never quite sure of where it is going until a major twist is revealed towards the end. But even with this lack of …
Woman’s World
Woman’s World is an oldie but goodie. The movie was made in 1954 and some might call it dated, but I watched this movie a lot growing up and really like it. I wish I could find it on DVD or that cable would air it.
The vehicle …
Movie Eastern Promises
The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …
Herbie Fully Loaded
Growing up, I was a die hard Herbie fan. So, when they made another Herbie movie, starring Lindsay Lohan, I had to watch it because… it was Herbie!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much. I thought they would probably deviate too far from the original genius of the …
Fracture (movie)
One thing that really impresses me about Anthony Hopkins is how he can play a criminal mastermind and yet play it to the point you actually have to be impressed with him.
In the movie Fracture, he plays a man who shoots his wife, is captured minutes later and confesses. …
Paul movie
British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …
A Simple Twist of Fate
A Simple Twist of Fate is a drama starring Steve Martin. I watched this movie recently on cable and sort of liked it. Though the first half of the movie is a bit boring, the movie picks up the pace in the later half and finally ends on an …
